Why This Easter Blondie Recipe is So Easy to Make

Blondies are the lazy way to make cookies, but the dough is pressed into a pan! That’s why we love making them over and over again, besides how rich and delicious they are!
The dough doesn’t have to chill at all, so they are super easy to make.
Just spread the blondie dough into the pan, no rolling or scooping of dough balls. Although I love to use the cookie scoop for most cookies. I hate rolling them…it’s an OCD thing, I think. I can’t stand sticky hands, it freaks me out!

Why I Love These Easter M&M Chocolate Chip Blondies

One of the things I love the most about this m&m blondie bar recipe is how easy and versatile it is! You can use white chocolate, milk, dark, butterscotch, peanut butter or pastel colored chocolate chips for the chocolate chip options.
Considering adding some pastel sprinkles, some chopped nuts and as far as candies go, we used Pastel Milk Chocolate M&M’s, but you can any colored M&M’s, peanut M&M’s or any of the flavors you love and even change them up for the holiday colors you’re celebrating.
As far as Easter, there are Hershey Candy Eggs and there are those Shimmery Cadbury Eggs that are really cute, depending on your preference! If you love the Cadbury eggs, you’ll love these Cadbury Egg Rice Krispies!!
Of course, you can leave them all the goodies out, if you just want some damn good blondies without all the pretties and go old-school blondie bars with no chocolate, just blondie bars!! You’re allowed, it’s your ‘blondie’ party and you add whatever you want to!

How to Make Easter M&M Chocolate Chip Blondies

Easter Blondie Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled, melted butter and sugar until mixed well.
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Stir in the flour, cornstarch and salt just until mixed, with no flour showing through without overmixing.
Fold in the m&m’s chocolate chips/ mix-ins.
Add batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 24-28 minutes, or until the top looks set and shiny. The edges will feel firm to the touch (not just set but actually kind of firm and crispy) and the surface will feel soft when pressed but will not spring back.
Cool fully before slicing, if it’s possible. Excellent served warm with scoop of ice cream and fudge topping!

Tips For The Best Tasting Fudgy Easter Blondies!

Under-bake them to successfully achieve that perfect moist, fudgy and chewy texture.
The key to perfect blondies, is not under-baking them too much or too little. When done, the edges of the blondies will be visibly baked through and turning golden-colored and the center will be set and not wiggly, when you shake the pan. The surface will feel soft when pressed but will not spring back.
You can also use the toothpick test by inserting the toothpick and checking it. It should produce a few stray crumbs stuck to the tester; but not a smooth smear of the raw batter, which would result in a raw blondie center. YIKES!
Keep in mind, this m&m blondie bar recipe will continue baking after you’ve pulled them from the oven, so you also don’t want to overcook them. They will become hard and crumbly and if your tester comes out with no crumbs, because by then, you’ve overcooked them.

Additional Notes

Light Brown Sugar Substitution – ¾ cup dark brown sugar + ¾ cup white sugar mixed together.
Baking in a glass or ceramic pan – baking time could take 3-5 more minutes.

Storing M&M Blondies

Room Temperature – Store blondies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
For freezing, make that they’re fully cooled, then slice and freeze. Thaw in the fridge.
